Yusuf Corker is officially a New York Giant. The former Kentucky Wildcat went undrafted and will join the NFC East franchise that picked Wan’Dale Robinson.

Mark Stoops rose through the coaching ranks by developing talented defensive backs. He’s now putting them in the NFL at Kentucky. Corker will look to be the next to make a splash at the next level.

Adding Corker was a significant recruiting win in 2017. A four-star prospect from McDonough, Ga., Corker picked the Cats over Tennessee, Michigan State and others. He lived up to lofty expectations.

A three-year contributor, Corker played in all 13 games as a sophomore, then started in every game of his junior and senior seasons. A Team Captain for his final two seasons as UK’s last line of defense, what he lacked for in ball skills he made up for with physicality. Corker concluded his career with 240 career tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 14 pass breakups, three picks, two quarterback hurries, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. He played his final collegiate game in the Senior Bowl days after his second child was born.
